Chapter 125
🕑 Added 2024-04-08 04:00:01 +0000 UTC"Only."
The old man suddenly remembered something.
He looked at the young girl repeatedly.
If he hadn't seen it wrong just now.
The young girl tiptoed and patted the shoulder of that tall man?
If that tall man was the Demon Emperor, wouldn't it mean that the girl patted the Demon Emperor's shoulder?
Such a grossly disrespectful act, yet both the old man and his granddaughter could still come out alive, it was simply unimaginable.
That was Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan.
The ruthless person who once flattened the Tianjian Mountain with a single step.
When he saw the girl patting the other party's shoulder just now, he was so terrified that his consciousness began to blur.
He just didn't expect that nothing happened afterwards.
"You resemble an old friend of mine."
The old man remembered a sentence said by the tall man.
Could it be that his adopted granddaughter is an old friend of Xiahou Yuan?
The old man was momentarily puzzled.
After thinking for a while.
The old man simply stopped thinking too much.
Regardless of the relationship between the girl and the Demon Emperor.
She was still his granddaughter, having been together for more than ten years, their bond was stronger than that of relatives.
Underground Palace.
Lin Yuan's gaze looked towards the old man's location from afar.
"Descendant of the Bai Family."
Lin Yuan's expression was calm.
The descendants of the Bai Family were the deepest bond of Xiahou Yuan. Lin Yuan had just appeared in front of that girl, reached out, and patted her head.
He also sent a strand of vital energy over.
This strand of vital energy could subtly improve the girl's aptitude. With this strand of vital energy, it wouldn't be difficult for her to step into the ninth stage in the future.
Lin Yuan's move also counted as completely severing the cause and effect between the original Xiahou Yuan and the Bai Family.
"The Five Realms."
Lin Yuan's gaze was profound.
Under his command, the forces of the demonic path swiftly unified the land of the Five Realms with terrifying speed.
It wasn't that Lin Yuan wanted to sit on the throne of the ruler of the Five Realms, but to promote the martial arts cultivation system as openly as possible.
Only by unifying the Five Realms could martial arts be spread openly and uprightly. This was Lin Yuan's true purpose.
During his hundreds of years in this realm, he had thoroughly integrated the martial arts cultivation system into the Five Realms.
In this way, even if he left in the future, or even if the forces of the demonic path were overthrown, the martial arts cultivation system might not necessarily disappear with them.
Just like the interstellar colonization movement, colonizers would spread their culture and language as much as possible in the colonies.
In this way, even if they were to be expelled in the future and the colonies were to become independent again, there was a high probability that they would still use the language and culture of the colonizers.
There were numerous powerful beings in the main world, and countless evolutionary paths coexisted. Even if the martial arts evolutionary path was excellent, it couldn't compete with those paths that had existed for tens of thousands or millions of years.
In that case, it was better to open up another battlefield and spread his own evolutionary path in other worlds.
Although the scale of the other worlds was far inferior to the main world, such as the current Five Realms world, at most it was comparable to a high-level life planet in the main world.
But quantity was overwhelming.
With the Gate of the Myriad Worlds, Lin Yuan could almost achieve an infinite number of transmissions.
And, in the main world, even if there were billions of citizens, how many of them could truly practice a certain evolutionary path?
However, in other worlds, Lin Yuan believed that with his means, he could make the martial arts cultivation system become the mainstream cultivation system.
That is, the cultivation system that all living beings would prioritize practicing.
Day after day, accumulation after accumulation, what would those superiors in the main world have to compete with Lin Yuan?
"Although I'm not sure what use it would be to spread my own established evolutionary path and how it relates to the ultimate leap."
"But it's nothing bad for me, just a matter of raising my hand."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
After all, even if more people practiced the martial arts evolutionary path, it wouldn't have much impact on Lin Yuan. As for worrying about future generations surpassing Lin Yuan, the founder...
If it were an ordinary founder of an evolutionary path, there might be such concerns.
But Lin Yuan...
With his Unrivaled Insight, even if he were a latecomer, he would quickly catch up to everyone. The later generations wouldn't even have the qualification to look up to Lin Yuan, let alone surpass him.
"My lord."
At this time, a voice came from outside.
"Come in."
As if Lin Yuan had anticipated it, he nodded and said.
Soon.
A figure walked in respectfully.
It was Sìtú Míng.
A hundred years had passed, and with Lin Yuan's help, Sìtú Míng had smoothly reached the tenth stage.
He was also the first tenth-stage powerhouse among Lin Yuan's many subordinates.
"A perfect vessel."
Lin Yuan looked at the respectful Sìtú Míng and silently thought to himself.
Sìtú Míng's original body was the Five-Colored Lotus, and his flesh and spirit all came from Lin Yuan.
Therefore, in Lin Yuan's eyes, Sìtú Míng was the most perfect vessel for descent.
Simply put, if Lin Yuan's body were destroyed, he could directly inhabit Sìtú Míng's body.
The two fit perfectly, without any need for adaptation.
Of course.
In Lin Yuan's eyes.
The importance of Sìtú Míng as a descent vessel far outweighed anything else.
With Lin Yuan's current strength, even if all the powerhouses in this realm were to join forces.
It wouldn't be enough for him to slap them with one hand. The only thing that could threaten Lin Yuan was the world consciousness of this side of the world.
There was simply no need to prepare any descent vessels at all.
"I want you to do something."
Lin Yuan looked at Sìtú Míng and slowly spoke.
"My lord, please say."
Sìtú Míng immediately said seriously.
Even if the lord asked him to commit suicide now, Sìtú Míng would do it without hesitation.
"In a hundred and forty years, I will leave this world."
"At that time, you will replace me and ensure that the martial arts cultivation system continues to spread. If there is a trend of decline, intervene."
Lin Yuan said.
Everything in the world could not escape the passage of time.
Although in the past hundred years, the martial arts cultivation system had been thoroughly spread across the land of the Five Realms.
And there were more and more people practicing martial arts.
But over time, there might be many unexpected occurrences.
And Sìtú Míng, he was the ace in the hole left by Lin Yuan, the best candidate to safeguard the 'Way of Martial Arts'.
Sìtú Míng was not of the human race; his original form was a Five-Colored Lotus, with a long lifespan, able to live for thousands of years. Coupled with Lin Yuan's assistance in cultivating his skills, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the eleventh stage before Lin Yuan's departure limit arrived.
With such a guardian of the Way, Lin Yuan naturally felt relieved. After all, Sìtú Míng's flesh and spirit were all bestowed by him, absolutely loyal. Even if a long time passed, he wouldn't harbor any other thoughts.
As for what would happen after Sìtú Míng's death thousands of years later... Lin Yuan believed that if the Way of Martial Arts could exist in the land of the Five Realms for thousands of years, it must have taken root thoroughly. Even if someone wanted to erase it, it would be impossible.
Moreover, even if something unexpected happened, Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to do anything about it. A thousand years was not just a distance; it was an extremely long period of time.
"Yes." Sìtú Míng agreed without hesitation.
"If the forces of the demonic path are threatened..." Sìtú Míng asked cautiously.
His implication was, if the forces of the demonic path could no longer maintain their rule over the Five Realms in the future, should he intervene to maintain it?
"You need not concern yourself with that." "You just need to ensure the inheritance of the Way of Martial Arts." Lin Yuan waved his hand.
Ensuring the inheritance of a certain cultivation system was completely different from ensuring the inheritance of a unified force. The latter had many hidden dangers. Even with the strength of the eleventh stage, Sìtú Míng might not be able to retreat safely if he dared to intervene.
Sìtú Míng wasn't Lin Yuan; he didn't possess the overwhelming strength to crush everything. The fact that there had been eleventh-stage powerhouses in this world indicated that there was a possibility of more eleventh-stage powerhouses being born in the future.
Lin Yuan didn't care. With his sixteenth-stage strength, no matter how many eleventh-stage powerhouses there were, he could kill them all without mercy.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan had already left some trump cards for the forces of the demonic path, ensuring their continued rule over the Five Realms for hundreds or thousands of years after his departure.
"Go." "After today, you need not show yourself in front of others." "Just observe the Five Realms in secret." Lin Yuan instructed.
"Yes, my lord." Sìtú Míng felt somewhat lost in his heart.
He faintly felt that his lord was giving his final instructions?
But how could that be possible? The lifespan of a tenth-stage powerhouse reached two thousand years. The lord could kill a tenth-stage powerhouse as easily as crushing ants; how could he speak of leaving instructions so early?
Watching Sìtú Míng's departing figure, Lin Yuan once again fell into contemplation.
To completely integrate the Way of Martial Arts into this world, Lin Yuan had made three preparations in total.
The first preparation was to unify the Five Realms.
To spread the Way of Martial Arts in the most orthodox manner.
The second preparation was Sìtú Míng, the guardian of the Way.
To ensure that the Way of Martial Arts continued to spread after his departure, and even in the face of unexpected situations, it could still be handled.
The first two preparations were made by Lin Yuan for normal and unexpected situations, and almost covered all possibilities.
The third preparation was aimed at the world consciousness of this world.
The world had consciousness.
Lin Yuan had vaguely sensed this when he first traveled. When he reached the limit of the world's upper boundary in the martial arts world, he felt pressure from between heaven and earth, like a whale stranded on the shore. This was the rejection of the world consciousness.
As for the second and third world travels, Lin Yuan didn't have this feeling at all, mainly because these two worlds were 'special'.
The Dragon and Tiger world had items like the True Martial Sword and the Primitive Demon Spirit from the 'Upper Realm', and the world itself was vaguely elevated. Lin Yuan didn't feel any rejection at all.
As for the Divine Weapon world, it was equivalent to being damaged, with some of the rules being drawn out by ancient gods and turned into divine weapons, resulting in a weakening of the world's consciousness.
And now, in this world, Lin Yuan could vaguely sense the world's will.
What was the world's will? It didn't have emotions, similar to the artificial intelligence of the main world, constantly maintaining the operation of the world itself.
Lin Yuan's third preparation was to prevent the world consciousness from deliberately suppressing the Way of Martial Arts.
If the world consciousness disliked the Way of Martial Arts evolutionary path, under its own evolution, even with Sìtú Míng as the guardian, the Way of Martial Arts evolutionary path might not last long and might disappear due to various 'accidents'.
"World consciousness." Lin Yuan muttered to himself.
The world consciousness was not a physical entity.
If Lin Yuan wanted to see the world consciousness, it was difficult to say difficult and easy to say not difficult.
The simplest method was to use the Son of Fortune.
The Son of Fortune was a product of the great fortune of the world, and was a target of special attention for the world consciousness.
If Lin Yuan found the Son of Fortune, he might be able to communicate with the world consciousness.
Of course, even without the Son of Fortune, there was still a way to force the world consciousness to appear.
That was—
Destroying this world.
This method was naturally not something Lin Yuan would use.
But he could deliberately bring it up to scare the world consciousness.
"Son of Fortune." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Over a hundred years ago, the Yin Spiritual being had seen those three Sons of Fortune at a glance.
He remembered their aura.
But shortly after, these three Sons of Fortune disappeared from the land of the Five Realms.
Lin Yuan speculated that under the influence of the great fortune of heaven and earth, these three probably had some kind of adventure.
"Let's wait a little longer." After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation.
With his current strength, as long as those three Sons of Fortune reappeared in the land of the Five Realms, he would be able to perceive it in an instant.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
In the Eastern Region, in a certain purple bamboo forest.
Boom!
A series of loud noises rang out.
Immediately after, three figures shot up into the sky.
Their vast and profound auras spread recklessly.
For tens of miles, hundreds of miles, and even thousands of miles around, they were all shrouded in terrifying auras.
"Hahaha." "We're out, we're finally out." Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, Shen Lang, and the three others laughed madly.
Their clothes were tattered, but their eyes were extremely bright.
During the past hundred years, they had experienced endless torment underground and finally passed the test, relying on their own strength to walk out.
And after such a long time of cultivation.
The strength of the three had all transcended from the peak of the ninth stage to the tenth stage.
And even the peak of the tenth stage.
Furthermore.
In the underground world, the three of them discovered a secret technique of combining attacks.
After mastering it, when the three of them joined forces, they were enough to contend with an eleventh-stage, or even a twelfth-stage powerhouse.
After a long time, the three of them finished venting their emotions.
They began to gather together to discuss what to do next.
"With our current strength, even a hundred thousand years ago, we could have dominated a region. If we use that secret technique, we might even surpass the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan." Shen Lang said this, but he didn't continue. There was only a hint of ambition in his eyes.
For a hundred years in the underground world, the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan was a nightmare that they couldn't shake off in their hearts.
If the three of them could defeat Xiahou Yuan, no, as long as they could contend with Xiahou Yuan, even if they could save their lives from Xiahou Yuan, that nightmare-like impact would disappear completely.
With their state of mind reaching perfection, even if they challenged the eleventh stage, there was a great chance of success.
"Well," Xiao Huo was also slightly excited in his heart, about to ask when to go and find Xiahou Yuan.
Suddenly, at this moment.
A low, magnetic voice sounded.
"You don't need to find me."
In an instant, the sky and earth were reversed, and there was no light from the sun and moon.
For thousands of miles around, a strange aura filled the air.
Under the shocked gazes of Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang,
A tall figure walked from the horizon. With each step, the space seemed to compress. After taking only a few steps, he arrived in front of them.
"I came by myself."
The tall figure stopped and looked down at Xiao Huo and the others.
"Demon, Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan." Xiao Huo's scalp tingled, and his mind trembled. He felt that the power of the tenth stage in his body was completely silent.
In front of Xiahou Yuan, Xiao Huo felt that he was not an invincible tenth-stage powerhouse at all, but a baby, an ant.
"Why are you so strong?" Shen Lang felt despair in his heart.
At this moment, Xiahou Yuan gave them the feeling that he was ten times, a hundred times stronger than the reversed Spiritual God a hundred years ago.
During these hundred years, not only had they made rapid progress, Xiahou Yuan had also been constantly improving.
His improvement was even faster than theirs, countless times faster.
"I," Xiao Huo opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But he saw Xiahou Yuan, who was high in the sky, raise his right hand and press down towards them.
Hum! The terrifying aura instantly began to compress.
Xiao Huo and the other two suddenly spat out blood and their consciousness began to blur.
"Is this the end?" Yang Bixing slowly closed her eyes.
However, at this moment.
A cold, grand will appeared silently.
Xiao Huo slowly stood up, his originally red eyes had turned into pure gold.
He looked up at Lin Yuan.
Although he was looking up, there was a sense of looking down.
As if the heavens were looking down on all living beings.
"World consciousness." Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand and stood behind him.
"You finally showed up."
